Lady Gaga #1 & Taylor Swift #2 2010 Artist

ByonDecember 9, 2010

Lady Gaga has been named Billboard’s Artist Of The Year 2010. Taylor Swift, who won in 2009, came in a close second. Swift has two albums in the top 10 of the year-end Billboard 200 tally, the first time an artist has done this since 1992 [Garth Brooks]. Ke$ha was named Top New Artist of 2010.

You may not like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift, but at least they write their own songs. Taylor’s new album came out a month ago and her other album has been out since late 2008, and she’s on #2 spot, that shows alot about her influence in the industry.

I think Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift are the only ones in the industry who could pull that off! Well, at least in pop music. Taylor wrote an entire album by herself!

JUSTIN IS NO ARTIST BUT HE CAN SING..

Sorry, but Justin isn’t that great of a singer. When he first came out, he was pretty decent. But now he just lip syncs and if he does sing live, his voice cracks to no end. Damn you puberty….

I’m sorry but Taylor swift cannot sing. she just has a good agent.

okay you sound fucking retarded. last time i checked, no “agent” was in the store making me buy her CD.

Ke$ha??? really?…
wow.

If anything, Bieber should have one that title.

Justin’s first album “My World” came out in November of 2009, so technically he can’t be considered best new artist of 2010. People like party auto-tuned music these days, and that’s what she does.

Haha um wow. do you know what an agent does? An agent pushes and advertises her on TV itunes youtube facebook and all the other websites. and people automatically start to like her because she’s everywhere.
And the jonas brothers are fucking hot. Taylor looks like a monkey.

WHATSUP

PEOPLE NEED TO COME TO REALITY….
SELENA, JUSTIN AREN’T REALLY ARTIST
AND THAT NIKKI IS A FAKE TRYING TO ACT LIKE LADYA GAGE

MOST ARTIST HAVE ADCTING SONG BUT THEY DIDN’T WRITE

Of course she isn’t the first to write those type of songs! But she is one of few not only write thier own songs, but make their music relatable to their audience. Which is the main appeal to Taylor. I will admit that I wish Taylor would have a song or two about something else, her only singing love songs is annoying me; but that’s her MO. But saying that she is not original just because she writes songs about a common subject is silly. John Lennon wasn’t first to sing about love and peace, was he not orginal?

True. but i just think its strange that people are giving Taylor so much credit when plenty of other singers are better then her and she’s the one getting the awards. The award shows are the ones that called her original. i just disagree.

Yes, but her actual album came out in Januray 2010. And Billboard goes by albums with this list, not singles.

Thanks! I love your kissy Demi icon. I agree that most artist these days are just manufactured robots, but some of them have certain qualities that can be appreciated.

At least Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift do write their own songs. Out of the main stream artists that are out there they are on top.

Well, Taylor may look like a monkey to YOU, but at least she doesnt sound like a DYING Monkey *Cough* Nick Jonas.

well since you completely ignored the point of the comment i see you don’t have a reply.

i’m not having an online fight comparing Taylor swift to the jonas brothers. i’m not a 15 year old girl looking for reassurance about they’re “idols”

Anonymous

ummm i really dont see taylor “everywhere”. she rarely posts youtube videos, all artists have a facebook page, and everyone does interviews. hahaha jonas brothers! sooo how many albums have they sold compared to taylor?

paparazzigirl

umm do you watch tv? and she’s on “gossip” websites like the one your on now

i only know one song by kesha (tik tok) but its alright. its catchy and its good for dancing and hitting the gym (which i do regularly)… why does everyone act as if they understand about music?? or are u guys just copying “expert’s” s opinions on what’s good and what’s not.

StreetsOfGold

I have seen both Taylor and lady gaga in concert and I think lady gaga has way more talent than Taylor. Sure Taylor has cute songs and an AMAZING voice but gaga has SO much fucking talent and she’s way better live than in her recorded music. Congratulations Lady gaga!!!

And plus, I ain’t gay but gagas gotta sexy body;)

I know this is random, & I’m not even a big demi fan etheir, but I garuntee you that if taylor came out with the album here we go again, it would get so many honors & awards. Honestly Demi music is so beautiful, she seriously needs more credit. That’s I think demi needs to get out of disney. She doesn’t need them, & would be taken way more serious. I don’t think slot of people even know what Demi is capable of

gabby xo

YAAYYY TAYLOR! YOU DESERVE IT 100% ! and to all the haters, get over it, shes amazing

xoangelaa

I agree 120%!!! Demi doesn’t get halfff the credit she deserves. she definitely needs to drop disney AND her stupidass Manager… cough Mr Jonas.

They have a different style.. I mean in stage.. I like Gaga’s songs but I looooove everything about Taylor. She’s cute, gorgeous.. she can sing and she writes so amazing songs.

EmmaLC

Yay Gaga!
I’m really happy that the top two artists are women. Not that I’m a feminist or anything…

haha this is getting way off topic but…demi is amazing!!! she has such a powerful voice and she was awesome live at her concert.

SHUT THE FUCK UP HATERS TAYLOR IS SUCH A TALENTED GIRL AND SHES AMAZING AT EVERYTHING SHE DOES. SHES THE PERFECT ROLEMODEL SHES BEAUTIFUL AND ALSO HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE EVEN THOGUTH SOMETIMES SHE DOESN’T SOUND THAT PERFECT LIVE BUT ANYWAY SHE DOES HER BEST AND SHES EVEN GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY. I’M SO GLAD SHE’S SECOND
Lady Gagas songs are cool but she just creeps me the fuck out idk
and Kesha, seriosuly, SUCKS.

getouttamyway

i think Lady Gaga is the best artist ever, you need originality? she has! she is extraordinary and anyone can do what she does.

xSweetCandyxx

I’m glad Lady Gaga won the award but Ke$ha seriously??She doesn’t have any talent and her music is stupid…..

Kesha is one of the worst artist ever walked on stage !
lady gaga is not that good either ..
Taylor deserves to be 1st !

Oh darn, no bieber as best! Finally, something that has a brain. I just don’t get the bieber hype. I can’t stand his voice or the way he acts in interviews . Sorry to say, but the music industry is really not full of talented people anymore. People can’t sing live and so much music is autotuned, has poor lyrics and just plainly stinks IMO. There are talented artist out there, but they stay hidden behind the new genre of music.

SERIOUSLY LADY GAGA IS SUCH A FAKE
HALF OF THE MUSICANS ARE FAKES
AND DON’T WRITE THERE OWN MUSIC

I like Tay and I enjoy her music, but then I felt she was becoming way way overrated, & truthfuly i was getting anoyed she was winning every award & getting every top honoud.It felt like no matter what artist came out, & deserved just as much appretation & those awards she wAs gonna win ether way. It’s kind of like, man let other people have there shine too, but I know it’s not her fault tho. I did watch a documentary on her yesterday tho, & I did gain respect for her, & realized that everything she has in her life now she haz worked hard for.

I don’t really care about the Jonas Brothers. I just think they’re hot. (like millions of other people in the world)

yeah. cuz taylor’s agent totally told oceanup to post this.

paparazzigirl

um hello? now that she’s popular she’s on gossip websites. She clawed her way to the top. i don’t see the big deal of her. she’s not good she can’t hold a note and all she sings about is being broken up with by guys (i wonder why so many people broke up with her cough*cough*)

Anonymous

shes popular because people like her music. somebodys bitter.

paparazzigirl

Allot of people hate her music and everyones entitled to they’re opinion

paparazzigirl

can someone please explain to me how her new album sold over a million records in a week? How can people be so deaf (and blind?) cant they hear that her songs are about one thing: love. i have looked up all? the songs to the lyrics. its all same, just written differently. And the guitar playing is 2 simple (for a “professional”), a begginer guitarists can play them. and she calls herself country? she’s not!

todays music really kills me. and everyone who know what music is supposed to sound like.
